Islam and the West Post-September 11th » (New Edition)

Historians, theologians, religious scholars, and social scientists from Western and Islamic countries present theoretical views and a number of case studies on relations between the religion and the capitalist world since the attacks on the US trade center in 2001. Among their topics are whether Islam is against the West, the finality of the Qur'an and the contemporary politics of nations, the shaping of a modern North American Islam, the impact of 9/11 on British Muslim identity, a Nigerian Islamic debate and an intellectual critique, radical Islamic education in contemporary Indonesia, and Israel as a focus for the anger of Muslims against the West.
